THE "YES!" CREW
[Previously Known As The Servant Team]What is it?
This year our high school team gets a total revamping! Instead of filling out an application and coming to an interview session, you'll simply (with the help of a parent of course) register for the Crew. This program is designed to be a great opportunity to learn about leadership and service. We hope that it would even be life changing for you. If you are a current freshman or sophomore in high school, you can sign up for a three week session for a small, non-refundable, registration fee of $100. With the $100 fee and a fulfilled three week working session, each team member is eligible for a free week of overnight camp in north Georgia at Camp Highland. This retreat is valued at almost $600! The entire team will spend July 23rd - 28th together playing, growing in leadership, and bonding as a team.What'll I be doing?
The daytime responsibilities of a Crew member are manning our camp store, setting up and breaking down each day for camp, supporting the customer service staff, and helping out with the ropes course. This team is vitally important in keeping Camp All-American running smoothly. Also, each week there will be two fun, team building activities (so, 6 per session) that will give you a break from the normal Crew grind. Being a member of the Crew is the perfect transition for our freshmen and sophomores from being a camper to being a counselor (but you don't have to have been a CAA camper to qualify).What do my parents need to know?
Each team member must complete a consecutive 3 week session. Your options are June 1-18, June 21-July 9, or July 12-August 6 (excluding the trip to Camp Highland from July 23-28) starting at 8:00 am each day and ending at 4:30 pm. To be eligible for the week away at Camp Highland, attendance is mandatory for the session you choose (unless you're ill or have a death in the family). A member can work one or more of these sessions to qualify for the free week of camp. The $100 fee will only be paid once for the summer no matter how many sessions are attended. Also available: you have the opportunity to volunteer for the last week of camp from August 2-6. While applying, you can indicate your interest in working this extra week.What will I be studying?
This summer, the team will be studying the book, The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork, by John Maxwell. Each week we will study two chapters of the book and learn how to apply what we learn to our work at Camp All-American. This time will be lead by the Crew director and the two college age foremen of the team. What an awesome opportunity to learn and apply the basics of teamwork!
Do I qualify?
This year, only those students who have completed their Freshman and Sophomore years at high school can apply. Our Junior applicants can fill out our Lifeguard application if they desire.What else is different?
Positions for the Crew do not require an interview or references! You can simply sign up for one of the three week sessions and we will communicate with you when training will be.Hurry up!
There are only 8 male positions and 7 female positions available for each of the 3 week sessions.Register Now!

Team Player
"For a young man full of pride, I haven't come across a better opportunity to get motivated to serve. It's easier to serve when you have a passion for something, and camp is being revealed more and more to be one of the largest I have. That humility plus the faith needed in support, the discipline needed at the work place, and the patience required with relationships (being personal, spiritual, and professional) are all being cultivated in the ministry environment."
-Lowell Slagle, 2009-2010 Intern
"The Internship is the best thing I have ever done and I am not just saying that. Coming from the business world, the internship has showed me so much about myself mentally and spiritually. I have learned how much I cannot rely on my own strength but God's to get through any situation. The camp staff is so supportive in helping me find out who I am and just taking time to teach me what they do. I am very grateful for the opportunity I have with them!"
-Brent Williams, 2009-2010 Intern
